Clearly Barack Obama is not the patriot that Dubya is. If Barack was half the patriot that Dubya is, he would be at that airport. Obviously, Barack hates the troops and hates America. Also, its clear that Dubya has nothing to do now that he is no longer prez.

Autochthon

Jesus. Is that the Joker next to him?

you didn’t ask, but

Them some weird looking motherfuckers…Jeebus.

The soldier looks like he has seen some shit, Bush has his usual jocular cluelessness and Laura like she fell in a vat of acid. Yeesh.

WHAT?

I mistook the shower of affection for pissing away our future.

Cape Clod

Instead of “a shower of affection,” perhaps the title should say, “pissing on our troops to the very end.”

Is that a bra underneath Laura’s see through shirt? But oh look, Michelle is wearing shorts!

Got to all of 1:00 before I wanted to claw my eyeballs out of my head.

I’m pretty totally completely utterly certain that George W. Bush is the very last person in the world I’d wanna to see in front of me if I were arriving home after x-number of endlessly extended tours of duty in Iraq.

I hope Bush does his “lookin’ fur weapons uv mass destruction” gag for these guys.

I think that’s a cardboard Laura, showing too much emotion for the real thing.

Prommie

Did anyone else see Laura Bush’s odd blinking? I suddenly realized, it was morse code, she was sending messages, I was able to make out “someone, help me, they keep me chained in the basement, the drugs, so hard to think, help me.”

BlueStateLiberal

How come Dubya is so fat now?!

BadKitty

Heh heh heh. Sorry ’bout all that killing and maiming and stuff. No hard feelings, right fellas? Heh heh.

Extemporanus

Worst. “Soul Train Line”. Ever.

just pixels

This would have been the right time to drag out that “mission accomplished” banner. Meaning, of course, that the “shower of affection” mission had been accomplished by the fire trucks. Iraq is pretty much the way we found it. (But wasn’t that special, sending the troops through a mini-Katrina on their way to baggage claim.)

Bush’s camouflage was obviously meant to make him blend in with the other dorky outfits you see in an airport. But it didn’t work. He’d only blend in at an Alfred E. Neuman look-a-like convention.

Meanwhile, is it just possible that one of those soldiers told Shrub he wanted that last seven years of his life back?

Limeylizzie

Laura needs to befriend a gay man, none of my homo friends would have let me out of the house in that ensemble…the old lady Playtex bra which is not giving enough uplift and the shirt which is the same colour as her skin- greige? To say nothing of the face-lift , she looks like a clubbed seal.He looks like a cunt , as usual.

Dashboard_Buddha

Laura strikes a blow for all of those full-figured gals out there.

Hiking the Appalachian Trail

Is it just me or between the weight and tan does George look like he is laying by the pool eating bon bons all day now.

Dashboard_Buddha

Also…Laura seems to rockin’ the Kabuki.

SayItWithWookies

The same idiots who don’t want a mosque next to the WTC site let Dubya do this without a protest. But then if people were consistent and sensible we wouldn’t have a use for religion.

Berkeley Bear

I wonder if they pre-screened the vets the way they used to pre-screen his audiences. Because I have a feeling there are more than a few folks coming home who’d like to inflict a traumatic brain injury on W.

And Laura as Goth is some scary shit.

harry palmer

They named that airport after him without any fanfare(Dumb Fuck W). Can’t wait til they open the DFW Lie-barry.

Dashboard_Buddha

Someone kill me now! I looked at the Jenna Jamison picture and thought of breasts and sex, then looked at Laura’s bra picture and suddenly had an image of George doin’ Laura porn style on the Oval Office desk.

I’m going home now and poor liquor directly into my brain.

Way Cool Larry

The war was a disaster and simply horrible, Bush is a psychopath and an asshole, the troops must be totally fucked up from what they’ve been through, but still, it is somehow all very fitting here; this is sort of touching in a weirdly twisted way.

Prommie

I’m thinking that there is a future for those three, right there in that picture, in movies. You could write a series of comic shorts, they would play a threesome of hilarious bumblers, a slapstick sorta thing. You could call the “The Three, . . .,” oh, I just can’t come up with a good name, the three somethings, The Three Goons? The Three Buffoons?

[re=643033]V572625694[/re]: Someone should’ve stood next to Bush while dressed as a chauffeur and holding up a sign bearing the names of every single man and woman who rode home from the airport in the back of a black stretch hearse.

/snark off

What really amazed me was W had that same stupid grin on his face when he went to Walter Reed or one of the other hospitals treating HIS wounded. In every fucking picture! I saw General Abizaid putting Purple Hearts on guys at Walter Reed who were never going to walk again (because of W’s sending them to get hurt AND refusing to allow the stem cell research that might one day figure out how to repair their injuries) or who were literally missing huge parts of their skulls. It was obvious it was tough duty for him. He was moved by what he saw, spent time with them and their families and if you needed something you knew you could call him and get results.

This asshole, W, just fucking grins. Anybody who voted for him, especially the second time, should spend a year getting shot at in Afghanistan or Iraq. Or cleaning bedpans at a VA hospital with their tongues. My choice.

Unbelieveable.

Hedley Lamar

NO! Don’t let the streams cross!

Baby who ate the Dingo

Looking at “W” makes me grateful that National got Reagan’s name instead of his. Mind you, I think Reagan was the second worst president ever, so that’s like posting on Facebook that you got some hot sex over the weekend, and your grandmother pops a comment in saying she’s glad you liked her see through Laura blouse.

slappypaddy

forty-six seconds was all i could hang of that. what were the firetrucks about at the beginning, were they hosing all the bullshit down? it’s a sterling tribute to our servicemen and servicewomen that they didn’t gun down that smirking little piece of shit right on the spot—“welcome my ass home, motherfucker? welcome this!”

not that i would ever propound violence against a president of the united states, no matter how much of a worthless simian abortion he might have proven to be. that pathetic excuse for a human being needs to crawl its ass back to texas and under some desert rock, along with all the other vile vermin.

Hey, President Bush, thanks for coming out to welcome us back and get all this camera time. When my buddies came back dead in coffins, you weren’t there and pix weren’t allowed, so we really appreciate you and the missues showing up this time. After you finish with the grip and grin, can we go have a beer and you can explain to me just how you managed to fuck things up so badly? Does coming home mean we have surrendered to our enemies and cut and run? Where’s Cheney, Condi, Rumsfeld and the rest of the boys?

So why does he assume everyone on the plane wanted to have their pic taken beside him unless it was arranged ahead of time. Which makes you wonder how many thousands refused to volunteer for photo-op duty.

I love the opening. Ah, water…the world’s most precious natural resource. Yo, check it, you 3rd world motherfuckers–we are using it to literally spray over our massive 747s returning soldiers home from a horrible war of occupation! Wheeeee!

Mr. Spanky

[last lines]
Patton: [voiceover]: ” For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph – a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode thei trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”

I think it is nice that W welcomed back a few of his soldiers who were coerced into fighting his Imperialist Wars of Aggression.

Welcome back from destitution to…destitution. Lay down your burdens and weary bones in the comfy accommodations of any one of our numerous tent cities. Unemployed? Injured? Traumatized? Sorry. The Teabaggers “Support Our Troops” only if it doesn’t cost more than a yellow ribbon magnet. Why should they pay any more? After all, you swore an oath to be sacrificed to protect their Constitutional right of greed and selfishness.
I guess they truly didn’t want you back. They’ll pay for all the tools you need (provided by the lowest bidder, of course) to keep the fight going for eternity, but are unable to afford your adjustment back to civilian life. You were destined to be a Christian martyr. Thank Real America.
You go from Hero to Bum as soon as you’re handed your DD-214.

Don’t forget your surgical gloves for shaking hands, George.

NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED

Instead of Archie Bunker and Edith greeting the last combat troops to DFW with a handshake, Queen Cunt from Alaska should have been there with Trig and her Faux News mike asking them how they felt about the Black man wanting them to shower with the gays and what do they think of a mosque being built next door to Ground Zoro? FOX would then have their talking points to ask on the Sunday morning talking heads programs.
A goody bag would have been nice too. Laura could have handed them a dozen eggs from Iowa and a pound of steamed shrimp from the Gulf courtesy of the Smaller Government movement because free enterprise knows how to regulate itself far better than Washington.
